Sarah Kate Wilson - 'Mintmuffle'

About

Loss, transformation, myth, the bizarre, excess, beauty, bad-taste, frivolity, devastation and spectacle are all themes that weave throughout Sarah-Kate's practice. Paintings and drawings allude to spaces where things are disrupted, the logical is shifted, the viewer is left trying to understand how that space operates.

"I realise I am a somewhat awkward nomad. Born in the Caribbean, living in Saudi Arabia, then growing up in England my life is a abundant with objects and references. I have to learn constantly how to impact on a new destination whilst staying true to the various itinerants on the way. I do this through the collection of objects that are nostalgic across multiple geographies and histories. I am a magpie; my paintings are the product of overwhelming tendencies to hoard, collect and accumulate eclectic cultural stimuli. The studio is a treasure trove of things - marbled balloons, sequins, rabbits, Christmas tree decorations and Indian wood blocks."

Sarah Kate Wilson graduated with an MFA from The Slade School of Art in 2010.
